Certificate in Foundations of AI:
This 12 week online course introduces the most important ideas, techniques, and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is specifically targeted at those with an interest in, and aptitude for, working with AI but who do not necessarily have a background in AI or a related area.
This programme provides students with the fundamental skills and knowledge required to start a career in AI, pursue higher education, or gain advanced insights that complement their current role.
